The Pilots Of New York.

The pilots Of New York bay and Boston
harbor are sometimes met with from 100
TO 200 miles from the land. They are
cruising about in the track Of incoming
steamers, and almost always appear in
ample season TO offer their services. But
If no pilot comes, the ship lies outside
the harbor and signals for one. The
corps on the pilot boat have regular turns,
and the pilot TO whose lot this vessel falls
Is rowed out 10 her.
He Is bound 10 answer the signal by
day or by night. in sunshine or in the
fercest storm. Nothing but the absolute
certainty that the boat cannot live in the
sea running between him and the vessel
will release him from his obligation

Delights of Army life.

Notwithstanding what few to the con
trary there would be ON such a subject,
there is mo- entertainment which can COM
pare to that Of an army post. No hop
room can be 80 fascinating as one draped
in the long, heavy flags which always
form the chief decoration. There is no
music as delightful as that of a trained
military hand. and no citizens dress suit
ever made could hold its own against the
blue uniform and white stripes Of the
officers full dress. No woman in the
army is ever a wall flower. No matter
how old she is, whether married or sin
gle. she always has the best dancers in
the room ask her for one dance at least,
and if she is pretty and attractive she is
as much Of a belle as in the palmiest days
of her girlhood. That is said to be one
Of the compensations of army life. and a
delightful one it is to be sure. One hears
a great deal about the drawbacks and
privations of army life, but l fail to
sympathize with the croakers. / looked
around the pretty parlor Of n Of the
most charming women l have ever met,
the wife of the adiutant, at her card
party last week, and l wondered how a
DON could he made any more delightful
in civil life. To he sure, taste goes a
long way, and all may not have it In
such a degree. but her dainty little cabi-
nets, her rugs, her pictures and books.
her guitar, her exquisite vases and bric-a-
brac, made that room a most attractive
background for the gay. homelike CON-
pany assembled there. with herself for a
fascinating centerpiece.-E Paso Cor.

Wolves Near Rome.

II is a long time since the reward for
killing a wolf in the plain has been
claimed at the capitol in Rome, but the
custom Of bestowing such reward is, it
appears, in full force when it can be
legitimately claimed. A shepherd in the
neighborhood of the Ire Fontane, the
well known Trappist monastery, a very
short distance from Rome, saw several
wolves the other day prowling near his
flock. having been driven down, UNI
doubtedY, by the immense quantities Of
snow that have fallen on the hills sur
rounding the Campagns. Although
alone. he bravely gave chase to the
animals, and succeeded in killing one.
which he aftcrward brought in Z. the
capital. where the usual reward Of 1907.
was at once paid him. Had it been a
female he would have received 1907.
1t is many years since such al incident
has taken place.-Rome Cor. London

Is that under the law the relatives Of

Strong Meat. but Juiceiess.

As a rule. there Is as little zest in the
perusal in printed sermons rs there is in
the mere recollection Of last summers
peaches. Their luscious flavor may not
be canned. II takes the momcntous &C.
casion. the sympathetic audience, the
reused attention, the pealing, pulsating
voice, the animated form. the fire and
soulpower Of the speakcr-all to make
the powerfully impressive discourse, and
often To print a sermon, no matter how
popular ii may have been upon delivery,
is but 10 give il a black coffin, in which
it will be hurried, with all other dead
things, TO dust and ashes. 1t is a curious
fact that. in all time, hardly a dozen pull
pit orators have succeeded In producing
sermons which any considerable number
Of people would read. No wonder, for,
indeed, they are generally rather dry
dishes; strong meat, may be, but juiceless
and without any gravy. -Globe-D Demo-

According 10 q supplementary bulletin
Of information from the Royal gardens,
Kew. that establishment has just Inn
ported a new cereal for study and exam
nation. The new cereal Is Abyssinian
teff, the grain from which, in It's several
varieties, the Abyssinians make their
bread. 1t may he spelt ''tthef," but this
is a needless addition to the pain of liv-
ing. One Of its advantages is that it
may be cultivated with ease at a height
of 5000 on 1000 feet above the sea level.
where corn and maize can hardly thrive.
This would make it well suited for u
hill stations in India, and for parts of our
colonial empire similarly situated as to
altitude. II TO maturity in four
months, yields forty times its volume of
seed, and, in the best variety, makes a
white. delicious bread. The coarser kinds
grow more quickly. but are much less
agreeable To the palate. Bruce mentions
teir with approval, and there is some ac-
count Of il in other books.
Yet till the other day Kew. and APP
parently Europe, was without a grain of
il. Great efforts were made to supply
this deficiency. The Royal gardens wrote
TO the foreign office, tn. foreign office
wrote To Cairo. the Italian consul general
there wrote TO the officer commanding
the Italian troops at Massowah, and finally
two sacks Of teff, red and white. found
their way 10 Kew from Africa. The con
signment was accompanied by Al invalu-
able note on the cultivation from NJ.
Coulbeaux. ''missionaire apostolique en-
Abyssinie." So now nothing stands be-
tween Kew and a teff tea cake but the
few months required for the cultivation.
There is a certain air of incongruity in
the righteousness of the official CORE
spondence. Twice as much letter writ
ing about a new explosive would have
seemed the most natural thing in the

HENRY GEORGE, in q recent num-
Der Of his paper, the STANDARD, says,
in reply to n man who objected to the
womsn's right plank 10 the platform
In the United Labor party: THE
natural right Of a woman TO vote Is
just as clear ~ that Of a man, and
rests on the same ground. Since she
is called on to obey the laws, she
ought TO have n voice in making them;
and the assumption that she Is not ft
to vote, is no better reason for denying
her that right than was the similar as
sumption which has been urged
against every extension Of the fran
chise to unfranchised men. And
whether men do or do not like the
im~putation that they are incapable Of
framing proper laws without the aid
Of women, their success in max.
